Stop Working For APC, Release Findings on Underage Voters’, PDP Tells INEC

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) charges the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to stop covering the atrocities of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by making public its findings on underage voters in various states, particularly Kano and Katsina.

We are aware that the investigation unearthed a multitude of underage
voters, particularly in Kano and Katsina, but that INEC has been
instructed by the APC and the Presidency cabal to conceal the atrocity, which they plan to use to rig the 2019 presidential election for
President Muhammadu Buhari.

Our investigation reveals that beyond underage voters, the INEC panel discovered other atrocities, which the APC and the Presidency agents have been suppressing.

We are also aware of the manipulations in INEC’s computer data center, which has been handed over to a compromised official known to be related
to President Buhari.

Nigerians are shocked that the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu is allowing the APC and the Presidency cabal to use him in their
desperation to rig the 2019 election for President Buhari despite his
overt rejection by the citizens as a result of the failures of his
administration.

Only last week, Nigerians were stunned by revelations that INEC under Prof. Yakubu is plotting to create 30,000 illegal polling centers in soft and compromised areas through which they plan to allocate free votes for President Buhari. This is in addition to plots to compromise
other voting processes including the card readers to favour the APC.

We invite Nigerians and the international community to note the various attempts by INEC to conceal the underage voters, particularly, in Kano and President Buhari’s home state, Katsina.

When the issue first came to the public domain, the APC issued a staunch defence while INEC blamed the Kano state government. The commission had to back down to institute an inquest when confronted with facts showing
that it registered the minors.

Furthermore, Prof. Yakubu refused to allow for an all-inclusive panel of
political parties and credible NGOs but went ahead to handpick INEC
officials with a view to cover the illegality.

Nigerians may recall that when we challenged the veracity of the
preliminary report with documentary evidence, INEC promised to make
public its final findings, but has refused to do so since the end of the inquest.

We charge Prof. Yakubu to find the strength to resist the pressure by
the APC and its Presidency or quit the office, as they will definitely
put him on collusion course with Nigerians, who are already anxious
about this election and are ready to stiffly resist anything short of
credible, free and fair polls.
